So sorry about Tom´s passing. I shared a lot of fun times with Tom. Once, we almost died together when our raft capsized while white water rafting. I wish I would have had the chance to say goodbye. Here´s one of my favorite pictures...

I was sad to learn of Tom's passing. Tom and I enjoyed a friendship while we were students at Fairfield University. I have fond memories of our times together.

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Tom through my brother. I spent a delightful evening with Tom and my brother at one of his favorite restaurants. His sense of humor, funny stories, kindness and welcoming smile have never been forgotten. He was such a wonderful and dear friend to my brother. I am grateful to have spent time with him.

Tom and I were classmates and at one point roommates at Fairfield. We were and have remained close friends. I spent quite a few weekends in Pelham with him while at Fairfield, staying at the Pritchards home, and got to know his lovely parents and Nancy. It was Tom who set me up on a blind date with my now wife of 53 years Ellie O´Rourke of New Rochelle. Tom and I worked together briefly in the early 70s at Republic National Bank, before he started with the Fed. Though we´ve lived in RI since 1976, we hung out with Tom often over the years in D.C., as two of our children attended college there and one of them has lived in D.C. for about thirty years. Tom´s dad even helped me land my first lawyer job, with his friend Tom Fenlon´s NYC firm. Please let me know about the Memorial Service.
